[quote=Anonymous]For all the people harping on OP, sometimes people are just born wanting to be independent and free from the start. I have one of these kids and it has been heartbreaking for me to raise her but I’ve had to let her be herself. I had a very hard relationship with my own mother and I have been very aware and conscious of how I’ve raised my kids, especially my oldest daughter. But she was born itching to be independent and basically has been pissed off since then that she couldn’t immediately move out and be on her own and that she has to wait until college to get the freedom she feels is her birth right. Maybe OP is manipulative, smoothering, made mistakes, sucks. Maybe she is none of that. We don’t know. But there definitely are people who are born just wanting to be out of the house no matter how great their parents are. [/quote]
